Trafalgar Square London England

Trafalgar Square Fountain 2016

Trafalgar Square is a large community space in London's City of Westminster. The name refers to the Battle of Trafalgar and the tall column (Nelson's Column) is a memorial to Lord Nelson who was killed in the battle.

For many of us, it's a good place to stop and rest or eat lunch.




Also bordering the square is the National Gallery of Art--A place I definitely recommend visiting if you like art.





Across the street to the right of the National Gallery of Art is St Martin-in-the-Fields Church. My dad used to pass through the area during the war years (WWII). Once when he stopped in for prayer he noticed and chased a purse-snatcher.

This short video provides an overview of Trafalgar Square better than I could capture in one photo.

I've been walking through Trafalgar Square for a long time. It's more colourful now.
